We really enjoyed our stay at Bay Shores. The staff were friendly and helpful, the beach was a block away, the bed and pillows were comfortable and restaurants were close by. We walked everywhere or grabbed an uber if needed, great vacation.

Nobody is answering the phone - there is no way to communicate with the hotel. They told us to park on the street but failed to tell us we cannot park ACROSS the street. So we got a ticket for $54.

Amazing location, literally steps to the beach. The staff is very welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The rooms are superb, parisian beach vibes, especially the bathroom. The bed is very spacious and comfortable. The windows are semi operable, so you can let the wonderful and natural California weather in. Exquisite panaromic views from the outdoor rooftop areas. Counting the days to our next visit at Bay Shores Peninsula Hotel!
